Hi Mary-Ellen In answer to your questions:
1. "reconditioning" your battery is a softer way of giving your battery some attention than recalibrating and doesn't divert your unit from use for over 15 hours like recalibration does. 2. "Reconditioning" means letting it run down till it's nearly dead, e.g. to 3% of its charge, doing a reset and fully charging it and then making sure you use the battery so it goes down to that low level, again. 3. Recalibrating is recommended monthly, by some, but several times a year at least. You are right that the manual has no precise instructions about this. You do it by selecting the options menu, pressing space-with-i for "support information mode" and pressing space for "flash-disk log" which keeps the techies at Humanware happy should they need to investigate your unit. It locks the unit's operation up for 15+ hours but is like aerobics for the battery and maximises its life and efficiency. After you enter the process, though, to paraphrase the old Isley Bros song, it's a case of "look yeah but don't touch baby".

I just received a message on my Braille Note mpowerwhile plugging in the ac to recharge the battery that "reconditioning is recommended." 1. what does this mean? and 2. How do you do it and 3. is Recalibration ok to do because this is what I am currently doing, will that wreck the Braille Note. Incidentally, Humanware staff the reference for manually recalibrating the battery in the owner's manual is missing. Thanks everybody!
